Keira Knightley dressed in period in cinema on numerous occasions, Glass but with “Colette” brings to the big screen a role that resonates perfectly with current times: the life of the French novelist Sidonie Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954), a woman who fought to free herself from patriarchy and leave her mark. This is the film that the British actress of “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Really Love” presented yesterday at the Toronto Festival, one of the most important film events of the year, and that on October 25 will hit theaters in Argentina.

Successful novelist, cabaret artist and even journalist, Maze Runner: The Death Cure Colette revolutionized the Paris of the early twentieth century with her talent and daring. Although this was not always the case, as the film by director Wash Westmoreland, who appeared in Toronto after his stint at Sundance earlier this year. When Colette arrived at the “city of light” from the country Burgundy, he had barely tasted the freedom with capital letters he would get later.

“Every time they offer me a role in a period film, The Predator I think” oh no, I can not make another period film. “But in the end they end up being the best papers they offer me, although in this one, luckily, I do not use corset” said Knightley, who shined in films such as “Pride and Prejudice” and “Anna Karenina” by Joe Wright. “I think that this type of films was a little deficient in the past, precisely because they tend to be about women,” she said.
